Matt Hancock, who was seen climbing a ladder while visiting an RAF Base in his latest attempt to recover the political top after a long fall from grace, has been captured.
The former Health Secretary’s ‘comeback tour’ has included peeling off the layers for a dip in Hyde Park’s icy Serpentine lake and evoking the late Steve Jobs in a roll neck and jeans during an unlikely appearance at Capital FM’s Jingle Bells Ball in recent weeks.
Mr Hancock, a stunt lover, joined the plane spotters on Thursday during a visit at RAF Lakenheath in order to attend a meeting with his West Suffolk constituency.

MailOnline was told by one of the lovers that Hancock seemed to be in good spirits as he joked and laughed with his group.
They added: ‘He said he was at the base for some official meeting as he’s the local MP.
‘He only stayed for a few minutes but seemed in high spirits and was laughing and joking with us and seemed determined to try out our kit.’

He looked a far-cry from his usual suit and tie looks that he wore every day as a member of the Cabinet.
Later that day, he was photographed holding hands on Gina with his lover Gina as they went for a morning walk. It was days after he apologized publicly and said the scandalous kiss was due to a leadership failure.
